The Supreme Court has laid down eight factors for courts to consider when deciding alimony in divorce cases. These include the social and economic status of both parties, the wife's basic needs, and the couple’s standard of living. Other factors include income sources, employment status, and whether the wife left her job for the family. The financial status of the husband and legal expenses are also to be considered. This decision came during the divorce case of Praveen and Anju Jain, where the court ordered Rs 5 crore as alimony. The couple had been living apart for 20 years.
